How to Auto-Resequence a Work Center Queue After a Drag in EDGEBIC

To auto-resequence a work center queue after a drag in EDGEBIC by User Solutions, open Scheduler Configuration and turn on Use Auto Job Re-Sequencing, then save. After that, dragging a bar on the Gantt makes the other jobs on the same resource row shift to keep the queue tidy. Turn on Remove Auto Job Re-Seq Gaps as well to close the empty time slots between them. Both are display-side interaction settings that act on the resource you dragged within, not a run of the scheduling engine.

This is one configuration task. For the drag workflow it supports, see how to move a job on the Gantt chart. The full set of recipes is on the EDGEBIC how-to hub.

Before You Start

• You can reach Scheduler Configuration, where the toggles live.
• At least one resource row has more than one job, so re-sequencing has something to arrange.
• An understanding that this tidies one resource visually and is not a dependency-aware reschedule.

Step by Step

1. Open Scheduler Configuration.
2. Turn on Use Auto Job Re-Sequencing.
3. Optionally turn on Remove Auto Job Re-Seq Gaps to close empty time slots as well as shift jobs.
4. Click Apply or Save to persist the configuration.
5. Go to the Job View Gantt and drag a bar on a resource row.
6. Watch the other jobs on that row shift to keep the queue tidy.

What Changes When You Save

With auto re-sequencing on, each drag triggers a tidy-up of the resource row you dragged within: neighboring jobs shift to keep a clean queue behind your move. With gap removal also on, the row packs tight, closing empty time between jobs. This is a display-side arrangement. It does not run the engine, does not respect routing dependencies across other work centers, and does not recompute capacity. That is why the correct final step is still to click Save Changes to persist your drags, then Re-Schedule to produce a dependency-correct plan.

The setting is per configuration, so it applies wherever that configuration is active, and it can be turned off just as easily when you want manual control over spacing.

How to Check It Worked

On a resource row with several jobs, drag one bar to a new time. The other jobs on that same row should shift in response. If you enabled gap removal, confirm the row packs tight with no dead time between jobs. If nothing shifts, confirm the configuration was saved and that the jobs are on the same resource row, since re-sequencing only acts within one resource.

Common Mistakes

• Treating it as a reschedule. Auto re-sequencing tidies one resource visually. Click Re-Schedule for a dependency-correct plan.
• Expecting cross-work-center awareness. It only arranges jobs on the resource you dragged within, so it can put a step ahead of a predecessor on another machine.
• Forgetting to save the configuration. The toggle takes effect only after Apply or Save.
• Leaving gaps on when you wanted spacing. With gap removal on, the row packs tight. Turn it off to keep existing spacing.

Next Steps

To choose what a saved drag records before you move a bar, read how to change the drag mode on the Gantt. To cascade a drag through the routing afterward, use the Save Changes then Re-Schedule workflow. The platform overview is at EDGEBIC, and more recipes are in the EDGEBIC how-to hub.
